HEMA-free Gel Polish

How do I apply the gel base coat?

1. Prep Your Nails: Start with clean, dry nails. Gently push back your cuticles and buff your nails lightly to remove any natural oils or shine. Clean your nails with an alcohol wipe or nail cleanser to ensure they're free from dust and oil.
   
   
2. Base Coat Application: Shake your gel base coat bottle to mix well. Apply a thin, even layer of the HEMA-free gel base coat to your nails, starting from the base of your nail and brushing towards the tip. Be careful not to get the gel on your skin or cuticles. If you do, use a manicure stick or a clean brush to remove it before curing.
   
   
3. Cure Under LED/UV Lamp: Place your nails under an LED or UV lamp to cure the base coat. The recommended curing time is between 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your lamp.
   
   
4. Clean Up: If there's any gel residue on your skin or cuticles after curing, gently remove it with a manicure stick or a lint-free wipe soaked in nail cleanser.
   
   
5. Proceed with Color Application: Once the base coat is fully cured, you're ready to apply your gel nail polish color. Remember, the base coat is crucial for adhesion and protecting your natural nails, so make sure it's applied correctly and thoroughly cured before moving on.
   
   

How do I apply the gel top coat?

1. Prepare Your Nails: After applying and curing your PattyGel®, ensure your nails are completely dry and free from any dust or oil. Do not touch your nails with your fingers as this can transfer oils to the surface.
   
   
2. Apply Gel Top Coat: Shake the gel top coat bottle well before use. Then, apply a thin, even layer of the gel top coat over your cured gel nail polish. Start from the base of the nail and seal the tip by dragging the brush along the nail's edge. This helps prevent chipping. Be careful to avoid the skin and cuticle area; if the gel top coat touches these areas, it can lead to lifting and peeling.
   
   
3. Cure Under LED/UV Lamp: Place your nails under an LED or UV lamp to cure the top coat. The curing time can vary based on the brand and type of lamp you're using; typically, it ranges from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. 
   
   
4. Hydrate Your Cuticles: After the top coat is fully cured and any residue is removed, apply cuticle oil around your nails and massage gently. This helps rehydrate your skin and cuticles after the gel application process.
   
   
5. Post-Care: Avoid exposing your nails to harsh chemicals or hot water for at least a few hours to ensure the gel fully sets.
